    Yeah I would think since you have been here for awhile it would not be an issue. But I know how the real world works so doubt it can be easy.

    My salesman was saying he had a bunch California customers cancel. About every single one of the white in color...so I suspect in a few months you can get a heck of a deal on a standard white fleet 579 and T680.

    If you could get a good deal on a white one with a Cummins you could always paint the fenders and side skirts.

    Here’s a couple this place in Utah did, started with plain white trucks. I like what they did with that blue one bringing the color up onto the cab.

    Probably a blessing in disguise, besides the kind of money you’re making now you really don’t need financing anyway.

    That blue color is pretty slick. That color combo reminds me of J-Mar trucking out of Searcy, AR back in the day. The company partially owned by the NASCAR driver Mark Martin.

    Seeing this gives me some idea on what can be done. I saw these two posted yesterday. The black one has Paccar and the white one a Cummins. Just too bad it wasn't flipped.

    A white tractor, pulling a white trailer, with the right amount of shiny looks clean and simple. I don’t think you can go wrong. Get on IG and look through pics for ideas.

    Just having a paint shop add a set of panels would make a world of difference, on a white truck.

    I love the sky blue and tan color combo. I do think if a person was going to get a white color you'd want something like that Diamond White as opposed to that standard fleet white
